Manchester United pull out of Arnautovic deal due to complaints from fans

As per Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic, Man United have ended their pursuit of Bologna attacker Marko Arnautovic.

Bologna rejected an initial bid of £6.8 million from United but a fresh bid was expected to be made.

Supporters wrote e-mails to Richard Arnold lambasting them for making a move for a player accused of racism multiple times.

One was from Michael Damevski, a North Macedonian who questioned United's anti-racist stand due to their interest in Arnautovic.

Several other United fans wrote to Arnold as well, pressing the same issue. Due to these factors, United will not be making a second bid for the player.

I emailed [email protected] to ask him why the club were trying to sign someone they know to be racist. Maybe you could do the same.
